    摘要: The present technology relates to articulating endoscopes and methods for manufacturing articulating endoscopes. An example endoscope includes an outer jacket extending a length of the endoscope; an outer wall, interior to the outer jacket, of an extrusion extending at least 80% of the length of the endoscope and ending at a bendable region of the endoscope; an inner wall, interior to the outer wall, extending at least 90% of a length of the endoscope and through the bendable region, the inner wall defining a working channel through the endoscope; a plurality of fins extending from the inner wall to the outer wall and defining a plurality of auxiliary channels between the inner wall and the outer wall; a first pull wire extending through a first auxiliary channel of the plurality of auxiliary channels; and a second pull wire extending through a second auxiliary channel of the plurality of auxiliary channels.

    摘要: A system may comprise a flexible delivery device including a tool channel extending therethrough and an elongated instrument configured to extend within the tool channel. The elongated instrument may include a flexible section and a rigidizable section. The system may also include a selective rigidization system at least partially extending within the elongated instrument and a sensor system configured to determine position information for the rigidizable section relative to a distal portion of the delivery device. The selective rigidization system, responsive to the position information, may be configured to transition a portion of the rigidizable section of the instrument from a bendable state to a rigid state.

    摘要: A handle assembly for a medical device, including a handle body, a first valve body housed at least partially within the handle body, a second valve body housed at least partially within the handle body and positioned adjacent to the first valve body, a lens wash inlet port extending from a first side the second valve body at a first angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the second valve body, and a lens wash outlet port extending from a second side of the second valve body at a second angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the second valve body. The first side of the second valve body faces a first direction and the second side of the second valve body faces a second direction, where the first direction is substantially opposite to the second direction.
